Who made the orange subframe connectors? Mark at O.E.M.? Looks great otherwise. We relocated the coolant tank to that side as well on a friends turbo ln2. I'm looking forward to new track times and power numbers with this setup.
Gotta give you grief about the zip ties on the coolant res
Looks good man, has come a long way.
Any upcoming events at NTR?

Interesting place for the Radiator reservoir. Hmm gets me thinking anyone ever do a radiator swap that contains a fill section on the radiator so you can do away with the reservoir?
You drive a cavalier? Why yes... yes I do.

Yes, its been done a few times.
Seems much better. And it frees up a lot of space. Any downsides. I mean I really don't a lot of J's with it on here.

Everything looks great...
Cept the stock coolant bottle zap strapped.....
Mark has a coolant tank in the classifieds
The zip ties are temporary until I get the rest of the brackets mounted. Lol. And David, Import Face-Off is at NTR this Sunday. I've spent all day getting my car ready, re-gapping the plugs, getting my drag race suspension squared away, new front brakes and rotors, and a quick check over of everything.
I don't have the sheet uploaded because I'm on my phone, but I re-dynoed my car the other day at a speed shop. Without changing anything except for the manifold, downpipe, intercooler piping and wastegate, I gained 20 horsepower at the wheels! I'm now sitting at 365 horse, 377 torque at the wheels!

No downsides. I swapped in a Griffen rad, deleted the surge tank, and use a generic summit racing overflow bottle.
Roofy, car looks great. Makes me wonder more and more why I didn't go with v-bands on my downpipe...everytime my header has to come off, Oldskool and I invent new ways to curse at my car, haha. Anxious to see what kind of numbers you make!
Fun day at Import Face-Off at National Trail Raceway in Ohio today!!! Here is our crew!
Oh! And a new personal best in the sunflower! I'm just gonna leave this here.....

And my parts showed up today, by the end of the weekend I'll have my SRT4 rear disc brake setup and full Tokico suspension installed.

Wow, why was that so close, what the hell was done to that other car? Both moving pretty well. Seems like you got out of the hole pretty well and didnt spin like crazy from what I could hear.
do you have a 2step or leave on boost at all or was that just dead pedal and go? What tires are you running for drag to pull 2.0 60's?
Gives me a lot of hope if I can run a 12.6 @118 then I can only IMAGINE what ill be doing with the more efficient setup. Like you said, huntin for 11's
All I know about the Mercedes is its an AMG of some sort. The time slip I posted is of the run in that video. Just a straight up launch from 4500 rpms or so. Mickey Thompson ET Street Radial 2 tires.
I would love to be able to make it to a test and tune and practice launching from different RPMS and trying to build boost before launching. I definitely think I could hit 11's as it sits. If I could cut a 1.8 60' time i would be pretty close. I don't know if I would be able to do that on radials though. My goal is 11's and would be awesome to do it without slicks. Its still a full interior, working a/c, 30+ MPG, daily drivable street car after all.

AMG usually means it's a boosted V8 so you are putting down some pretty good power to the wheels . I wouldn't be surprised if that Mercedes was putting out 400 HP+/- . Congrats
If your doing a NWF brake swap, you can swap to 2000+ bonneville aluminum spindles, bonneville aluminum ball joints, 2010 camaro ss/ CTSV/ z06 4 piston calipers, and 2010 mustang gt500 15in ceramic brake rotors. Just an Idea.
On the inside my car looks like a fighter jet.
